Eco Toilets
Ecoflo's waterless, composting toilets can be installed to large, small or tiny homes. Their products can be suited to full time use, or just part time use. They have designed their systems around the Australian climate. These systems are suited to applications where water is limited or where you are wanting to create a more sustainable living environment.
Their product range includes: Waterless Composting Toilets, Grey Water Systems, Sun-Mar Toilets, Nature Loo, and Composting Toilets.
Read more about their product range here.
Grey Water
We offer a number of systems as a package with our waterless toilets.
Australian households use a total of 240.000 litres of water a year as a result of including a flushing toilet in their home. According to the Victorian Plumbing Industry Commission a 5,000L rainwater tank on a 100m² roof area would yield 60,000L per year.
In summary, not only can installing a waterless toilet reduce your water usage but reusing grey water is a vital step in creating an off the grid home!
Approvals - each local council has different rules and regulations, please contact your local council for more information relating to Eco Toilets and Grey Water Systems. Or check out the resources offered on the Ecoflow website.
